The damage part is a dot that deals shadow damage and scales with haste, versatility, passive damage bonus from artifact traits (tanks get 0.65% damage increase for the first 52 traits each), abilities that increase all damage dealt (such as avenging wrath or rage of the sleeper), and possibly can crit as well. With a proper setup, it could deal quite heavy damage, and therefore very strong sustained healing too. For example, protection paladins (who naturally stack a lot of haste) with Chain of Thrayn (Avenging Wrath results in a 45% damage increase and 85% heal increase), something like Chrono Shard and of course Seraphim might have a lot of fun with this trinket, especially during Bloodlust.

Probably turns out to be a rather mediocre tank trinket generally, but has a certain meme potential.

80% certain that this trinket's 'healing portion' does not double dip or gain benefit from versatility's increased healing based off my logs.

The healing portion is exactly 3x the damage done, thus, the more damage buffs you can stack, the more damage you can dish out and the stronger the self healing is with this trinket.

It is surprisingly usable on bears as it allows you to drop your mitigation, pool rage, and use frenzied regeneration to top yourself back up during sustained damage phases.

Probs not the best trinket in terms of raw mitigation but extremely versatile (comparable to/ more so than the regular shield trinkets imo)

got it on my blood DK (ilvl 900)can confirm synergy with vampiric blood~ (+55%healing)without vamp. blood, heals for 3+mil over 8 secwith vamp. blood, heals for near 6 mil over 8 sec,so it is like a strong self HOT, thus less chance of overhealand its short cooldown allows frequent usage with vamp. blood ^_^

The tooltip on WoWhead is quite deceiving as all tanks have significant damage increases from their artifact,and it scales with every other secondary stat and damage buff.as a blood DK with a 915 version,it deals 1.8M damage over 8 second.quite the decent DPS oriented trinket for a tank,associated with a strong self heal.if you do not need the mitigation from a better trinket,this one will do wonders for you :)
